Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: Inheritance & custody for child (US citizen) of permanent resident parents

You will need to make a will or trust in your state of residence, and nominate your guardians in that will or trust. Also, if your estate may be taxable, you should ask the attorney about a "qualified domestic trust" to deal with the tax issue.

If you have property in India (or another country), you may need to have another will prepared there.

Re: Inheritance & custody for child (US citizen) of permanent resident parents

You need an estate planning attorney, and should probably have a living trust prepared. I would need to discuss things in more detail to determine what you really need.

Please call my office, and I will answer your questions. You can also go to my website, and I have a slide show under estate planning.

What you need is an Estate Planning Attorney who has a strong knowledge of Family Law. These happen to be the two areas of law that I practice in. I would be happy to discuss the matter with you in greater detail if you wish to discuss the matter with me.
